    This elegant fountain was built in 1755, and is decorated, at the top, by a beautiful sculptural group (Venus and Cupid) by António Machado, a disciple of João de Almeida.

    Chafariz urbano, projectado em 1774 por Reinaldo Manuel dos Santos, implantado no centro de uma ampla praça e constituindo uma prolongação do ramal das Necessidades, que se prolongava numa derivação sobre o Vale da Cova da Moura (Avenida Infante Santo). Segue a tipologia de chafariz centralizado com forte carácter cenográfico

    One of those places that you normally pass by and stay admiring the things passing by for an indefinite amount of time... a little coffee, a cool drink and enjoy the day...

    (Translated by Google) This fountain in front of the Alvor palace, gave rise to a real urban reorganization work with the design of a new square, planned by the architect Reinaldo Manuel dos Santos in 1774. Implanted harmoniously in Largo Dr. José de Figueiredo, it appears surrounded by a small wall, which defines three of its sides, the fourth being defined by the palace, simultaneously supporting the side streets and following the slope of the land. Classified as a property of public interest, it reflects a civil architecture of baroque equipment. Aligning with the noble door of the palace, the fountain, in pink and white marble, consists of a circular water reception basin, based on a circular staircase interspersed by two tanks intended for animal drinking fountains and topped by a water box, in lobed vase shape in four curves. Crowning this ensemble is an allegorical sculptural group by António Machado, representing Venus flanked by the Cupid and a dolphin, alluding to love and water, this fountain in 1823 was supplied by the aqueduct of the Free Waters through the gallery of needs . (Original) Este Chafariz fronteiro ao palácio do Alvor, originou um verdadeiro trabalho de reorganização urbanística com o desenho de uma nova Praça, planeada pelo arquiteto Reinaldo Manuel dos Santos em 1774. Implantado harmoniosamente no Largo Dr. José de Figueiredo, surge rodeado por um pequeno muro, que define três dos seus lados, sendo o quarto defenido pelo palácio, servindo simultaneamente de suporte às ruas laterais e acompanhando o declive do terreno. Classificado como imóvel de interesse público traduz uma Arquitetura civil de equipamento barroco. Alinhando com a porta nobre do palácio o chafariz, em mármore rosa e branco é composto de uma bacia de recepção de águas circular, assente sobre um escadaria também circular intercalada por dois tanques destinados a bebedouros dos animais e encimada por um caixa de água, em forma de jarrão lobulado em quatro curvas. A coroar este conjunto surge um grupo escultórico alegórico da autoria de António Machado, que representa Vénus ladeada pelo Cúpido e por um golfinho, fazendo alusão ao amor e à água, este Chafariz em 1823 era abastecido pelo aqueduto das águas Livres através da galeria das necessidades.

    (Translated by Google) Historic area of ​​Lisbon, quiet place. Difficult parking throughout the day, even at night due to nightclubs and bars. At night it becomes a very busy place, so it is not so calm. Nearby there are affordable restaurants where you can have some good grills. (Original) Zona histórica de Lisboa, local calmo. Dificuldade de estacionamento durante todo o dia, mesmo de noite devido às discotecas e bares. À noite torna se num local bastante movimentado, logo não é tão calmo. Nas proximidades existem restaurantes acessíveis e onde se pode comer uns bons grelhados.
